Lucky you! I just drove into the country for two free bags from the roadside - hope you get a lot more

What do I do with it? At this time of year:

• Strew onto a newly acquired plot, then cover with black plastic through which I'll plant squash and toms next year
• Layer in the compost heap
• Strew on top of mulch along the asparagus bed
• Ditto jerusalem artichoke bed

Came across a great idea for manure acquired in January - make a covered 'hot box' with manure covered in about 8" compost, and plant new potatoes in it for Easter. When they're up, put in the melons. MMMM!
